The right fishing line for predatory fish: strength, control and certainty
For catching predatory fish such as pike, perch or zander, a good fishing line is very important. Whether you use finesse techniques or heavy lures: with the right line you increase your chances of catching fish and fishing enjoyment. In our range you will find top quality predatory fish lines that perfectly match your fishing style.
Why braided line is indispensable
Braided lines have become the standard in modern predatory fishing. They consist of multiple thin synthetic fibers, tightly woven together. This gives them unprecedented tensile strength, even at thin diameters. A 10/00 line can already handle impressive strength. Moreover, braided lines have no stretch, which ensures direct contact with your lure and the fish. You feel every bite sharply, ideal for techniques such as jigging, dropshotting or fishing with softbaits. Due to the flexible structure, your bait is also presented in a natural way, which is a big advantage especially in bottom fishing.
Which thickness of braided line to choose?
The right line thickness depends on your target fish and technique:
-
Ultralight fishing (trout, finesse, streetfishing): 4/00 – 8/00
-
Perch or zander on large water: 10/00 – 14/00
-
Pike with lure: 16/00 – 22/00
-
Heavy pike fishing or dead bait: 22/00 or thicker
Also pay attention to the color: moss green is popular because of its camouflage in the water. Want to follow your line well? Then bright yellow or orange is a smart choice.
Monofilament and fluorocarbon: also important
Besides braided line, monofilament (nylon) lines are still relevant, especially as a main line for those who want a bit more stretch and forgiveness. Fluorocarbon is often used as a leader because of its nearly invisible presentation and excellent abrasion resistance. This makes it a must for shy predatory fish or in clear water.
